Hoist on His Own Petard

Bernie Sanders returned a donation from Shkreli. [More]

And that's really all you need to know.

Illegal minors brag about being freed in U.S., encourage others to come [More]

God forbid we should adopt "racist" immigration policies  -- like Mexico's!

Thank goodness none of this has anything to do with that single issue!

Let Me See if I've Got this Straight

If one person gets injured in a negligent discharge, "progressives" demand all guns of that model be recalled. [More]

But if Islamist murderers on American soil commit mass murders, we're "racist" for even suggesting shutting down the incoming supply for a bit until safer quality protocols can be established?

Call in the Cavalry!

Feinblatt's getting his ass handed to him in comments. [More]

At this writing, there are 16, and every one of them rejects his arguments.

Look for "rescuers" to suddenly show up.

Obama's Gonna Blame the Gun

If You See Something, Say Something?

An East Bay woman visited a Dick’s Sporting Goods last week and asked a store employee about buying eight boxes of ammunition for her AR-15. Two days later, on Friday, Sim Sangha received an unwelcome visit by two police officers. [More]

The real story here is that any gun owners are still doing business with the gunkapos at Dick's.

The Indiegogo Loophole

Indiegogo allows crowdfunding for development of guns! See? [More]

Their terms of use just say you can't offer weapons as perks, so Kai Kloepfer found the Indiegogo Loophole. Actually, he didn't, Charles here did, with his spectacular failure in 2013.

But what this means is, if you want to fund your gun design, prototype construction and product launch, Indiegogo's the place to gogo!

Right, Cody Wilson?

Hey, what's going on here?

Indie? You got some 'splainin' to do!

For the Children

I'm told this ad was from an old Sears catalog. It looks to me like it could also be a magazine ad for specific brand*, but there's a larger point to be made beyond its source, and it speaks to an ongoing "fundamental transformation" aimed at destroying the America many of us once just assumed was our birthright.

We've talked about old toy ads here on occasion, notably things like the Mattel Tommy Burst and the Johnny Seven O.M.A. Funny-- none of us ever had the least bit of a problem with trigger-happy Only Ones.

And for vintage ads of real guns, there's no better source than the Classic GUNS Magazine Editions archive.

* UPDATE: Per the wincing Hufflophobes, it's a 1972 Daisy Air Rifle Ad. The embedded video is a hoot, too -- Emma Gray evidently doesn't run into any real men in her provincial existence, and former Bloomberg aide and Pajama Boy clone Jacob Soboroff is absolutely seething at being bullied by Bushmaster's "man card" ad.

My People are Destroyed for Lack of Knowledge

In fact, Horowitz discovered a solid majority of the students asked willingly signed the petition, with several expressing their enthusiastic approval for his anti-First Amendment efforts. [More]

Nice to see Children of the One Percent are just as ignorant as San Diego beachgoers. These are the kids that are in line to be running things some day, so it's nice to know they'll be toeing the establishment line.

Hey, aren't "progressives" the ones constantly railing against "white privilege"?

Behind Closed Doors

Today, President Obama met with former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as part of the Administration's continuing push to address gun violence in America...The President's Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett was also in attendance. [More]

Anyone supporting whatever comes out of this will prove that he is not your friend.

And the Race is On

 Neither person would identify the cemetery where the couple was buried. [More]

It seems that would be a county public record somewhere.

The Republican Revolution

Yes, Professor Quigley? You had something to add?

Thank goodness none of this has anything to do with that single issue!

Partisan Comments By Democrats

First off, due process protections outlined under 14th Amendment are not extremist views. Nor are any other constitutionally protected rights extremist. Our country is based on these principles. [More]

CCDL tells us totalitarian extremists are projecting again.

Just Curious?

Folks like me avoid going to those places as much as we can in the first place. If we did have to act where it's "illegal," the state would do its utmost to destroy us, which is why whether I carry is none of anyone's business. As for why the media doesn't report DGUs, it sometimes does if you know where to look and police reports have been filed, which means it doesn't if it's a situation like most, where no shot is fired, things are brought to a halt by the presentation of a gun, and everyone goes on their way with violence dissuaded.

As for the rest, all that info is readily available to anyone who is truly curious and open-minded. Finally, I've never suggested it's a cure-all-- it's a choice that can improve your odds depending on the circumstances and your level of capability and mindset.

The above is my response to this guy.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to get into a prolonged back-and-forth.  If you want to weigh in, please do so under his comment. I've turned them off for this post.
